Sure it’s about the music, but it’s also trying to get the best sound while you listen to music. It’s nice when you get a new component or do some tuning/tweaking and then you start hearing something in the recording that you never hear before. If it wasn’t to get the best sound for your budget, then get an iPhone and a pair of AirPods if you just want to listen to music.
The Forest for the Trees
I caught myself last night doing something that I need to do more. I was listening to the music. I wasn’t concerned with imaging, sound stage, tonal quality, wasn’t even thinking about it. I was listening to the music. It engaged me, I was lost in it. But then, I caught myself and started thinking about why it engaged me. It sounded awesome because all of the qualities listed above were there. I need to remind myself to enjoy this hobby more for the music than the pursuit of perfection. It feels good when it happens and you don’t even know it is happening.
